FRAMEWORKS is a site specific installation – Croatian pavilion at the 9th Architectural biennal in Venice in 2004. Actually, FRAMEWORKS is a mobile glass tunnel that is passed through by the show’s visitors, which renders it in an architectural object and ambiental installation at the same time. Whether been passed through, or observed from the outside, the tunnel provides a whole range of visual and haptical spatial-temporial sensations. The tunnel links opposite room entrances. Each frame is attached to the sliders enabling horizontal movement. Synchronized motor-powered frame’s motion changes the a ground plan of the tunnel and consequently it’s transversal section and visual presence of its sides. The tunnel’s shape-shift, from straight line to curve and back, evolves in real-time and and includes visitors within the tunnel. The tunnel pulsates through all the exhibition’s duration.
